    Ah, yes! This is a "jewelry" joke, rather than a jewelers' joke...
    The very same Mrs. Klopman was told by her her doctor that she had a
    fatal condition and would never outlive her husband. She immediately
    commissioned a world-famous portrait artist to paint her portrait,
    which was to be hung above the mantel in the living room.As she
    posed for the portrait, she instructed the artist to include a few
    things other than the famed Klopman diamond.  "Paint on my wrist a
    three-tiered diamond tennis bracelet", she said. "Also, paint on
    Tahitian black pearl earrings the size of grapes." She continued in
    this vein, asking him to paint several rings on her fingers and a
    ruby and diamond tiara for good measure.  The artist did as he was
    told, and turned out a dazzling portrait. When the job was finished,
    before he left, the artist said, "May I ask you a question, Mrs.
    Klopman?" "Sure, go ahead" she replied.  "Well", said the artist
    "Painting the Klopman diamond was easy, but I had a heck of a time
    dreaming up all the other jewelry you wanted me to add on.  Tell me,
    why did you want it?" A crafty gleam lit Mrs. Klopman's eye as she
    explained,  "Because when I'm dead and my husband brings the next
    Mrs. Klopman into this house I want her to look at my portrait and go 
    crazy trying to find all that stuff!"           Dee
